This version needs to modify the database. On upgrade it will ask you to log out of all terminals.

• Support Long SMS > 160 chars. Note that messages longer than 160 chars will be split up and each 'message chunk' is billed as a single SMS
• SMS Mailer.  If Bulk SMS appears to be targeting same user/message then suppress sending of message.
• Web Orders : added email for various stages of ordering
  • Initial order accepted (fully stocked) / order completed.
  • Initial order accepted (partially stocked)
  • Order progressing (still only partially stock)
  • Cancelled parts notification
  • Backordered parts notification
• Website : added management for fancy web widgets : image gallery and logo+text.

• New report : historical aged trial balance
• New Report: workshop profit/activity
• Parts Magician direct link : bugfix with maintaining a stable network connection (was not transmitting keepalives)
• Modified job locking to reduce occurrence of stale locks

• Bugfix - recent addition of account emails broke ability to bulk print printer only statements. Now fixed
• Online backup.  Existing verification algorithm's are killing performance of c9 webserver. New algorithm is now 10x more efficient which is good for server and dealer database. Also added server side verification caching; to reduce server load further. No point verifying master file 3 times a day if it only changes once a week.

• More problems with recently added GST exemption support.  Under some circumstances workshop job labour would be GST exempt:
  • Importantly : on labour added to jobs via timesheet clockon/clockoff
  • Creating a basic job
  • Purchase unit preassembly
• Bug fix with unit sales profit report. Was not handling rebate correctly.
• Other minor tweaks to rebates and unit reports.
• Major redesign of parts magician integration.
  • Messenger will now connect directly to parts magician server; not via PM client.
  • Point of sale now also connects directly to server. Point of sale experience is now more function rich.  PM responses are presented in point of sale. Mapping franchises to parts magician categories is now more intuitive
  • Connectivity now uses shop phone number as a fallback, if parts magician username is not set.

• Bugfix with handling GST on newly created estimates. Items on estimate would not include GST.  Regression bug from recent GST exempt changes

• Recommended deposit reclaim now successfully deals with cancelled order items
• Deposit reclaim - display deposit remaining and warn user if they type in a reclaim amount that exceeds the remaining deposit
• Workshop deposit - make it more accessible as a workshop sub menu option
• Workshop notify warn screen - provide user a button to suppress notification at this point in time
• Invoice notes. On order parts allow user to f5 notes. On F12 receive order the notes pop up in point of sale
• Accounts - allow setting of an invoice address. Print it on invoices.
• Add new unit via select unit screen : default GST to be on (previous default was GST exempt)
• Spares invoice: if tendered amount > invoice value give user option to switch to receipt sale
• Spares invoice: do not print change on invoice sales. There is no change. Same for tender display screen
• DB Scanner. Increase maximum size of input sql to unlimited. Was previously 100 char : far too small.
• DB maintenance : offer ability to reconstruct missing master file records from stock file
• Weekly planner : provide modify job button
• Spares point of sale new print option : both A4 and email.
• Point of sale F3 parts summary - include email option.
• New Spares report - show all adhoc inventory changes in reporting period
• Unit sales : when adding spares - price of spares goes onto final/full price. i.e. final/full price are not fixed when dealing with spares
• Account transaction tally report. Print unit invoices as a separate line item

• Online backup. Periodically send verification information to the server to improve nightly backup integrity checks

• Bugfix with regression bug introduced in 4.164.  Deposit reclaim would default to GST component of the minimum reclaim only, not the full amount.
• (Work in progress). Online backup periodic verification. Improvements to server side daily reporting on online backup status. Currently not functioning 100% yet.

This version needs to modify the database. On upgrade it will ask you to log out of all terminals. Note that this upgrade may take longer than other upgrades; possibly several minutes as it needs to apply alot of changes..

IMPORTANT NOTE: This version of c9 now uses GST rate tracked against stock and master file items as opposed to the global tax rate. It also tracks on floor units whether or not to sell GST exempt. Make sure you maintain these values correctly on managing stock and importing master files. The upgrade will force reset all values to 10%

• Added code to deal with Briggs & Stratton .xls price files and fact that parts are not on the first xls worksheet.
• Added ability to track GST exempt line items on spares, workshop and units. Mainly for handling medical aids, such as mobility carts. Spares items and unit items can now be GST exempt.
• Floor units can now be set as GST exempt or inclusive, so on sale they will default to given setting. (The setting can still be changed in POS)
• Added spares inventory checkpointing + report to show quantity on hand at 1st of any given historical month.  The implementation is not retrospective.  Only from moment of upgrade with historical inventory data be available.

  • Cancelled jobs
  • Stock takes
  • Manual F6 manipulation of stock
